Mission

The mission of the Hearst Foundations is to identify and fund outstanding nonprofits to ensure that people of all backgrounds in the United States can build healthy, productive and satisfying lives. Through its grantmaking, the Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address significant issues within their major areas of focus—culture, education, health and social service—and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of sustainability beyond their support.

Whether providing a scholarship to a deserving student, supporting a rural health clinic or bringing artists into schools so children can see firsthand the beauty of the arts, the Foundations’ focus is consistent: to help those in need, those underserved and those underrepresented in society. Since the Foundations were formed in the 1940s, the scale and capabilities of the grant making have changed, but the mission has not.

Culture Grant

The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the arts and sciences, prioritizing those that enable engagement by young people and create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs nurturing and developing artistic talent. Supported organizations include arts schools, ballets, museums, operas, performing arts centers, symphonies and theaters.

Funding Priorities in Culture

In the recent past, 25% of total funding has been allocated to Culture. Organizations with budgets over $10 million have received 60% of the funding in Culture.

The Hearst Foundations are only able to fund approximately 25% of all grant requests, of which about 80% is directed to prior grantees and about 20% is targeted toward new grantees.

2025 AANHPI Grant Guidelines: Supporting Well-Being for AANHPI Youth for San Diego

About the AANHPI Fund

Comprising 16.2% of San Diego County’s total population, the region’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community is one of the largest and most diverse in the U.S. However, these individuals are often treated as a monolith or a group of people who are thought to be the same, which masks the disparities in health, education, income and social inclusion that exist across different AANHPI subgroups.

In 2024, San Diego Foundation (SDF) launched the AANHPI Fund with a $2.5 million endowment from the SDF Board of Governors. The AANHPI Fund celebrates the diversity of the AANHPI community and works with donors and community leaders to invest directly in solutions that address the challenges faced by AANHPI communities.

Background

In 2024, the new State of San Diego AANHPI Report commissioned by SDF revealed significant disparities in outcomes across AANHPI communities and highlighted a critical need to support the well-being of AANHPI youth ages 15-24.

The report found that suicide is the leading cause of death for AANHPI individuals ages 15-24 in California and that 30 percent of AANHPI community members reported difficulties accessing health services due to financial cost, lack of awareness about available options, limited insurance coverage and limited English proficiency. The report also highlighted a critical need for AANHPI mental health professionals who can offer culturally and linguistically appropriate care. For many AANHPI individuals, the absence of services available in native languages and the shortage of mental health providers with expertise in first-generation or immigrant care further deepens the gap in accessing appropriate mental and behavioral health support.

Funding Opportunity

The award amount for this grant cycle is expected to total $500,000. Eligible organizations may request a maximum of $50,000 per proposal. 

Goal

This grant supports projects and programs focused on well-being for AANHPI youth and young adults, ages 15-24, while providing and destigmatizing access to mental and behavioral health services utilizing culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices.

Strategies

The AANHPI Fund 2025 grant cycle aims to support projects that employ one or more of the following key strategies:

•

Provide trauma-informed, culturally relevant programs and interventions for AANHPI youth and young people, ages 15-24, to support mental health and well-being. 

•

Provide opportunities for AANHPI youth and young people, ages 15-24, to build and maintain connections with community elders in a supportive and culturally relevant environment.

•

Provide opportunities for AANHPI youth and young people, ages 15-24, to access culturally relevant mentorship and leadership development opportunities that reinforce belonging and well-being.

•

Conduct outreach and education to reduce the stigma of mental health in the community and ensure AANHPI youth and young people are knowledgeable and have access to high-quality, affordable and culturally responsive mental and behavioral health support.

• The Frances R. Hesselbein Award is given to a partnership that is addressing social challenges in more than one community, or which demonstrates the potential to be replicated in other communities. This recipient receives $75,000.
• Four other organizations are named Honorable Mention recipients for their programs, and each receives $50,000.

Since its inception in 1996, the Community Partnership Award has recognized 262 partnerships from cities and towns across America. Like so many of our clients working in the nonprofit community, Mutual of America is dedicated to having a direct, positive impact on society.
